The Cowboys have been focused on defense in free agency, and now the franchise could make another move.

The Dallas Cowboys have had a good free-agent period, not great as some had anticipated.

But let's remember, we are a week into free agency, and last year, George Pickens was a late trade. So there is still time to bring in quality players.

Dallas has already signed P.J. Locke, Jalen Thompson, Cobie Durant, and Rashan Gary, with all four being good additions.

But the Cowboys surely aren't done adding players, are they?

We hope not. 

And if they were, the Tennessee Titans' latest move might have just made the Cowboys' front office sit up in their chairs.

The Titans released two-time Super Bowl champion corner L'Jarius Sneed.

Yes, the Cowboys already have Durant to go with DaRon Bland and Shavon Revel Jr., but Sneed's experience could prove invaluable.

Plus, he won't break the bank, given that he was released. Dallas can get him in at cost.

But will they want to?

I say a phone call at least has to be made.

He's only played 12 games across his two seasons with the Titans, as injuries ruined his time in the AFC South. But this move (that saves Tennesee $11.4 million in cap space) comes just two years after Tennessee signed him to a four-year, $76 million contract.

So he was once worth that. Is he worth something now?

Would the Cowboys - with Jerry Jones saying he's shying away from "redshirt'' (injury-issue) draftees - want to take a cheap flyer on Sneed?

A physical, versatile 6-1 corner who when he's right is good in man coverage and a willing tackler in the run game, Sneed supporters could make the case that, for the right price, Dallas should be interested.

Of course, he is a little older (29), and his injury troubles over the past two seasons could give the Cowboys more than enough reasons to say no.

But they have to at least pick up the phone, gauge Sneed's interest, and see where he is physically, right?

He wouldn't be a needle-moving signing, and in fact, he might not even be a shoo-in to be a rotational guy, but he could provide some good depth and competition to a secondary that needs it.

If he proves his injury troubles are behind him and has a good offseason, who knows what sort of player Dallas could be getting?

In an offseason where defense is a major need, and more specifically, the secondary, maybe adding Sneed might be a shrewd move by the Cowboys' front office.
